Over 90% of people displaced by Savannah conflict back home – Muntaka

The Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, says more than 90 per cent of people displaced by conflict in the Savannah Region returned to their homes within three months following security interventions and mediation.

The Minister described the situation as a major security challenge that required a curfew, security operations and dialogue to contain the violence and facilitate the return of residents.

The Minister maintained that Ghana’s overall security situation had improved since 2025, pointing to a reduction in curfews nationwide and a period of 150 days without gunfire in the volatile Upper East town of Bawku.
